As enterprises deploy autonomous AI agents into production workflows, companies are discovering that ad-hoc governance fails. You can't monitor outputs and hope for compliance. Human performance management—feedback loops, accountability structures, escalation paths—maps directly onto AI agent governance. It's not metaphor; it's operational requirement. Companies investing in agent infrastructure must build institutional muscle they've historically outsourced to HR. This creates an advantage for organizations with mature performance management disciplines and exposes those treating AI as a technical-only problem.
